Thank you for applying to volunteer to work WWTLC's first season of gatherings on The Land! WWTLC plans to rent The Land to groups of 100-300, for one week at a time, between the dates of July 16 and August 18, 2019. There are 4 weeks of events planned:
July 16-21 - MICHFEST CREW & FRIENDS REUNION
July 23-28 - BIG MOUTH GIRL
Big Mouth Girl is a gathering organized by Nedra Johnson and friends.
August 6-11 - SINGING & PLAYING ON THE LAND 2019: AMAZONS RISING AND COMING HOME!
A private (invitation only) six-day/five-night camping event on The Land
August 13-18 - MYSTICAL WOMXN’S MAGIC FEST
All those who identify as women are invited for the very first Magic Fest on The Land.
Work will begin on The Land on June 23, 2019 and finish on August 24, 2019. Most of the volunteer positions will last 2 weeks. We will endeavor to give as many women as possible a chance to volunteer, but please do let us know if you are available to volunteer for more than one 2 week time period. Volunteers on The Land between July 14 and August 18, 2019 will be directly supporting the events and gatherings on The Land during these dates, but will NOT be participants in the events and gatherings, UNLESS the WWTLC volunteers are specifically invited to participate by the event organizers. Meals and hot outdoor showers will be provided for volunteers. Please be sure to let us know if you have any particular needs or limitations, so we can find a time and position that works for you. We're dedicated to assembling a volunteer crew with diverse skills, abilities and backgrounds, to build an efficient, evolving, feminist infrastructure on The Land to carry us through our first year of events and into forever!
We are looking to fill these limited number of revolving volunteer positions to support this summer's gatherings in the following categories:
STRIKE (1 week commitment 8/18-8/24) - Following events, volunteers will help return everything to storage and return The Land to her natural state.
VOLUNTEER KITCHEN (1 week commitment between 7/30 - 8/24) - Work with a team to prepare buffet style meals for around 25 volunteers in the old Gal's Kitchen tent location, including prep, service, and clean up.
SECURITY/COMMUNICATIONS (1 week commitment between 7/14 - 8/18) - Provide 24 hour gate security and communication with other crews, event and gathering attendees during events, delivery drivers and local community members. Event organizers will act as box office crew to take tickets and orient event and gathering attendees, this will not be a Security/Communications task. The primary tasks will be monitoring the gate, which will include daytime and overnight shifts, and providing information to people at the gate.
CREW OF THE WILLING(FLEX)/GARBAGE/RECYCLING/SANITATION (1 week commitment between 7/15 - 8/24) - Take garbage and recycling to the dump every evening and run recycling to town weekly; stock and maintain porta-pots, shower areas, dish wash and hand wash areas; escort porta-pot pumper trucks on toilet pump runs during events, fill in with misc. tasks on other crews as they arise.
Please, fill out the application with your crew choices and dates available and we will respond with invitations. Thank you for understanding WWTLC is working almost entirely on volunteer hours and on funds raised from our community. Volunteers will be asked to work 8 hours a day, 6 days a week with one day off per week. Unfortunately, WWTLC will not offer child care this year. Your work is graciously welcomed on a volunteer basis in support of women and girls, forever. Thank you for being part of returning our community to our sacred Land!

For women. For Girls. Forever!
